SportDOG Brand TEK 2.0 GPS e-Collar Review

[@eugene7890]

When you are on the map and say you see your dog running away from you further then you want he to be . Can yiu hit the tone or shock buttons while on the map, or do you have to go back to the screen showing your buttons??? I would really like if you could tone or stimulate them while i am looking at the map.

That was very helpful, thank you!

Except that he talks so painfully slowly I had to watch it in X2 speed just to normalize it.

[@nacholibre1962]

Oh my goodness. Is there a manufacturer out there who makes something that doesn’t have a bunch of features I’ll never use? I simply want to keep tabs on my dog. I don’t need all of that other crap and don’t want to have to pay for it! And 12 hours of battery life in this day and age is pathetic.

I am looking into this collar as a fence trainer for our LGDs on our 30 acre lot. Can you tell me how this unit works for setting up a gps fence perimeter and training?

[@HuntTested]

First off, thanks for watching! The answer is sort of. You can create a geofence that lets you specify a boundary. Use your Handheld Device to draw a shape on the map and identify it as the active geofence. You'll be alerted any time a dog travels through the geofence boundary based on the sound setting selected in the settings menu. I do not believe that it applies simulation when crossing the fence line a containment system would.

You may have mentioned in the video, but what is the range that this collar can track? Also, does it work well in areas of little to no cellular data? Thanks!

[@HuntTested]

Hey, thanks for watching. Range is 10 miles. It doesn’t not require cell coverage.

I had the same experience with my Wirehair but it was Cattails

I rabbit hunt. My dogs are out of sight often. I have sportdog collars now. They are not GPS collars. I am going to upgrade. My friend has Garmin. He likes it. Have you compared this collar to Garmin?

[@HuntTested]

I have not tested the Garmin unit, so I cannot offer a comparison. What I do like about SportDOG is dog e-collars and accessories are core to their business, it's all they do.

@@HuntTested do you know the cost of a transmitter and collar?

What’s that dog called on the book

[@matthewkillam4378]

German Wirehaired pointer

[@pauls835]

I've had tek 1.0,1,5 and now 2.0. IMO these units are the biggest POS on the planet. I've had nothing but trouble with them and while the personal at Sportdog customer service are nice they KNOW they have a product that's flawed and there's nothing they can do about it. I would never recommend sportdog gps units to ANYONE.

What would you recomend

[@hardknockssquirreldogs3477]

I appreciate that, you’ve just saved me the headache man

[@eugene7890]

Well, let me see if they were no good or, as you say , a 💩 then why did you buy 3 different models (1.0, 1.5 & 2.0 ) through the years because all 3 you mentioned didn't come out all the same years🤷. I say you sound like you're full of 💩💩

[@eugene7890]

Ok you call them garbage BUT you bought 3 units😮 . You said you bought the 1.0, 1.5 and the 2.0 . Well if garbage WHY did you buy 3 different models 😅😅. I think your full of 💩

[@richardnoseworthy4031]

Mine always shows the wrong location

[@HuntTested]

Hi Richard. First off, thanks for watching. That hasn't been my experience. Ensure that you have GPS enabled in the settings. If that doesn't work, please contact SportDOG and they'll help you out. Good Hunting!

How long is the battery life?
